914 Wizard? No way. I got too much to learn.  Group: Members Posts: 4,099 Joined: 21-April 03 From: Gig Harbor, WA Member No.: 598  |
I couldn't find Mile's drawing of a cam (it magically made everything make sense to me) so, I decided to try my hand at it.
First, jack the car up so it assumes the usual and comfortable position of a 914. Resting securely on jackstands. I won't get under it without jackstands cause the thing jumps off of jacks. I have a dented long on the driver's side and a dented rocker panel on the other side to prove it Dave Attached image(s)

Get under the car and remove the valve covers. I've used the big butt(like me) method with a shop rag looped over the bale or the screw driver prying the bale down or off. Whatever works for you.
